Unauthenticated data disclosure via unprotected reporting routes
Published Oct 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Authorization bypass in WPChill Download Monitor 4.7.51 and earlier allows remote attackers to read administrator reporting data. Several REST API routes registered by DLM_Reports omit capability checks, so reporting handlers return protected user and report information without verifying administrative access. No authentication is required, and no write or service-interruption impact is documented.
